FoX Friday with Stuart Reardon!

My lovelies! Do I have a special treat for you this week.

Last Friday, we revealed the cover of my upcoming novel Camden, which features my lovely, new friend, Stuart Reardon.

Camden is unlike anything I’ve written before, and I am so excited to bring it to you next month. Stuart is a recently retired, professional rugby player-turned model and all-around fitness guru. And I think he’s just as excited about Camden as I am!

I invited him to stop by and tell us a little more about himself.

Hi, Stu!  Thanks for popping by. Tell me, how did you get started in rugby?

I started very young. I was ten years old in my first season. My friends got me into it.

Wow, really?

I was a very fast runner. On sports day, I raced my classmate Leon and I won. He asked me to come play for his team, as his dad was the coach, so I did.

That’s so cool!

Me and Leon are still friends to this day. We played for Queensbury for six years, and then turned professional for our hometown of Bradford.

Wow, it must have been so awesome to play for the hometown crowd.

We had great success and won many trophies during our time at Bradford, and then we both went on to play international level for England and Great Britain. So rugby all started for me with that one race!

Amazing the path that life takes sometimes.  Was rugby what was led you into fitness, or were you always a fitness enthusiast?

I was always an enthusiast, I’m addicted to fitness, I love it!

Haha! I noticed.  How did you end up modeling?

I stumbled into it, if i’m being honest, but I’m glad I did. I have met some really cool people and friends through it, and I’m enjoying the journey.

That’s great. What do you like about where you are now in your life?

I like the man I have grown into both physically and mentally. Spiritually as well. I’m grateful for where I am, and for what I have, while I continue to push for progress. After all, life is progress.

Absolutely! If you’re not moving forward, you’re standing still. I’m sure my readers are curious about w hat do you do in your downtime.

I spend time with my fiance, my friends, my family, and my son.
